[Feature Request] Multiple music library paths (positive matching)

[Zomtir]

A handy feature would be to be able to have the option for multiple library paths. Currently you have to select one "main" folder and can exclude multiple paths.

Suggestion

The proposed mechanism would work identically to the exclusion list.

Paths to add to your music collection:
Specify folders which shall be included to the scanning.
[*Description identical to negative matching*]
_____________________ [Select Folder] [Delete]

Reasoning

Positive matching is in some cases simpler than negative matching. Especially when the negative list is dynamic and not very predictable. Secondly this would allow to search shared folders from other users, which are always added in the top-level folder.

Example structure:

/Music/Interprets/
/Music/Soundtracks/
/Music/UnsortedCollection1/
/Music/TempCollection/
/Music/Downloads/
/Music/Youtube/
/SharedMusicFolder1/
/SharedMusicFolder2/

I would like to have a positive match list containing two native and two shared items

• /Music/Interprets/
• /Music/Soundtracks/
• /SharedMusicFolder1/
• /SharedMusicFolder2/

Negative matching is nigh impossible:

Positive list: /

Negative list:

• /Music/UnsortedCollection1/
• /Music/TempCollection/
• /Music/Downloads/
• /Music/Youtube/
• /AllOtherNonMusicFolders/
• /AllOtherShares/

Hopefully this finds consideration. Many thanks!

This is basically a duplicate to #760. But the description above is so good that I'm going to let this issue live alongside the original one.
